New Year’s Day 2018 parkrun double finder

Sat 30th December 2017

It is the 5th year that I have generated the New Year’s Day parkrun Double Finder list 🙂 Thanks to everyone that has provided feedback about missing doubles and event cancellations over the years, I really do appreciate you taking the time to tell me!

This year I made some changes to the back end, which should speed up development of future features such as ordering the list by closest to your current location, and determining which doubles you can travel between by foot, bicycle or public transport. I’ve also added support for Australia, Ireland, New Zealand and South Africa.

As always, a reminder: This is not updated live, so event cancellations in the few days leading up to NYD might not be accounted for. Please check the social media (Twitter and Facebook) and website of the parkruns you intend to double at before setting out. I’d hate for you to be disappointed and miss a double! The good news is that if one of your intended events is cancelled, you have this great resource for finding an alternative 😀

Also, please double check the directions and driving/running/cycling/public transport travel time, and factor in time to get to and from your car. Make sure there is buffer time to allow for traffic and taking wrong turns. Make sure it is possible to travel safely! Please drive sensibly in bad weather conditions!

I hope you Enjoy your New Year’s parkrun double. Unfortunately there’s not one possibly for me this year, as I’ve moved to live in Calgary. Instead I’ll be Run Directing the first New Year’s Day event at Nose Hill parkrun 🙂 Have fun out there!
